New things we’ve tried and liked that surprise us:

• Maria: salted licorice, sour gummies, cucumbers (on everything), sill (pickled herring, especially topped with cream), napping on benches
• Chris: muesli (“I like that muesli is more of a concept.”); cheese, ham, and really good bread for breakfast; afternoon coffee (fika), long conversations with the kids on bike ride; buying coffee vacuum packed in cubes (so it’s stackable), minigolf
• S: fast water slides, actually trying to pedal, yoggi (a yogurt drink), being outside every day
• L: inflated bouncy surfaces, lasagne, yoggi, trains
• T: camping pillow, Swedish candy, biking 30 miles every day, ferries

 

Comforts of home we miss:

• Maria: a washer and dryer, reliable internet
• Chris: not having to set up camp every night and pack up every morning
• S: the cat, our chickens, my stuffed animals
• Luke: the cat, my bed, the internet
• T: the cat, my bed, a kitchen
